WTForms companion library to provide polyglot HTML (i.e., XML-compatible) output.
Polyglot markup is a set of rules for how to write HTML. A document that uses
polyglot markup is both a valid HTML5 document as well as a well-formed XML
document, that can be served with either a text/html or an
application/xhtml+xml MIME type.
This package provides the PolyglotForm class, which is built on top of
WTForms’ default Form. When using PolyglotForm, fields will be rendered
with polyglot markup. For example, given the following form:
from wtf_polyglot import PolyglotForm
from wtforms import BooleanField
class MyForm(PolyglotForm):
foo = BooleanField("foo", default=True)Rendering MyForm.foo will result in the following XML-compliant output:
<input checked="checked" id="foo" name="foo" type="checkbox" value="y" />In contrast, using WTForms’ default Form, the output would be:
<input checked id="foo" name="foo" type="checkbox" value="y">In addition, this package provides a custom implementation of WTForms’
SubmitField, which renders as a <button> instead of an <input> element.
For example:
from wtf_polyglot import PolyglotForm, SubmitField
class MyForm(PolyglotForm):
foo = SubmitField("Bar")Produces this output:
<button id="foo" name="foo" type="submit" value="Bar">Bar</button>
